We live in an ANDROGYNOUS QUANTUM LOGIC WAVE-FIELD reality that our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based representations reduce to a one-sided BINARY LOGIC, MALE-ASSERTING SUBSTITUTE REALITY, as described herein;

 

The hypothesis of linguistic relativity, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is a principle suggesting that the structure of a language affects its speakers’ worldview or cognition, and thus people’s perceptions are relative to their spoken language.   – https://www.britannica.com/science/Whorfian-hypothesis 

 

LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY is behind the fact that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are stuck in a SIMPLIFIED SUBSTITUTE REALITY due to our language having ‘dumbed down’ our representation of QUANTUM LOGIC WAVE-FIELD REALITY by DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE and constructing MALE ASSERTING ONLY representations of a BINARY LOGIC, MECHANISTIC SUBSTITUTE REALITY.  For example, instead of the fluid-dynamical, quantum logical ‘TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, we use language to reduce this reality to the mechanistic, binary logical ‘the TOWN (as if in its own ‘independent’ right) that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products’.  This simplified, fragmented, one-sided, MALE-ASSERTING ONLY LINGUISTIC SUBSTITUTE REALITY has become our WESTERN-CULTURE “OPERATIVE REALITY”.  As systems scientists have noted; this is “inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence.

INTRODUCTORY NARRATIVE: 

 

Of the logos [aka the Tao, the Wave-field], which is as I describe it, people always prove to be uncomprehending both before they have heard it and once they have heard it. For, although all things happen according to the logos, people are like those of no experience, even when they do experience such words and deeds as I explain when I distinguish each thing according to its phusis (nature / constitution) and declare how it is; but others are as ignorant of what they do when awake as they are forgetful of what they do when asleep.

Those who hear and do not understand are like the deaf. Of them the proverb says: “Present, they are absent.”

— Heraclitus

 

The reason why we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ‘do not get it’ even ‘after hearing it and seemingly understanding it’ can draw on the experience of Heraclitus and his 500 B.C. era contemporaries in this same respect;

 

OK, I KNOW what Heraclitus is talking about because I experience this same thing, and where it is coming from is the fact that our language based expression in terms of QUANTUM LOGIC is very close to the same as our language-based expression in terms of BINARY LOGIC.  For example, I could say to you; “There is TOWNING in the transforming landscape” and you will get this picture in your mind of a TOWN being constructed so that you know what I am talking about, and you may nod your head to acknowledge this or say ‘I get what you’re saying’, … but if you are seeing the Town in the CENTRE of your mental impression and it is expanding in size, that is the BINARY LOGIC (EITHER/OR) option and what Heraclitus is trying to get across is the QUANTUM LOGIC (BOTH/AND) understanding where one sees, as the primary reality, the transforming landscape, and WITHIN THAT PRIMARY REALITY, one sees the TOWNING development.

But if we are only thinking about the TOWN and ITS GROWING, we are stuck in BINARY LOGIC mode and to get to the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC view, we need to see TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE where the TOWNING is a secondary feature within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.   But WHO KNOWS WHAT WE ARE THINKING OF or SEEING in our mind’s eye?  What we are seeing is NOT VISIBLE TO OTHERS (and that may be good because it could be embarrassing if others could see images in our mind as we are seeing them)

 

QUESTION:  When we are using the word TOWN, are we imagining A TOWN AS A LOCAL THING THAT IS GROWING, or are we imagining A TOWNING THAT IS A DEVELOPING WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (a developing that is part of that transforming landscape)?

 

The first possible view is the SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC view where the TOWN is an INDEPENDENT THING with its own powers of AUTHORING CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION etc.

 

The second possible view is the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC view where there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.   Here we are seeing the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE as a DYNAMIC FEATURE IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

 

HERACLITUS’ point is that he is explaining things in QUANTUM LOGIC terms (TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING) and people say they are GETTING IT’ but what they are ACTUALLY GETTING is instead the simplified BINARY LOGIC version where the TOWN is a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING with its own LOCAL DEVELOPMENT, … a difference that may become evident in an ongoing conversation.

 

I can tell you that this sort of thing happens all the time because, as happens in my philosophical investigations, I am most often speaking in QUANTUM LOGIC terms but I KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE HEARING WHAT I SAY IN BINARY LOGIC TERMS.  For example, I don’t believe in the existence of INDEPENDENT NATIONS but if I am using the word-names RUSSIA and UKRAINE, people in a WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENCE location will assume that I am intending ‘RUSSIA’, the independent nation, and ‘UKRAINE’, the independent nation, … which has the BINARY LOGIC implication, but I am instead understanding RUSSIA in QUANTUM LOGIC terms and UKRAINE in QUANTUM LOGIC terms so that I DON’T SEE THEM AS INDEPENDENT since I DON’T BELIEVE in the ABSTRACTION of an independent state.  In the Heraclitan view, RUSSIA and UKRAINE are GATHERING-SCATTERING phenomena.   An as a ‘systems thinker’ I am in the same camp as Martine, when she says that we are living in a relational world wherein there are no “INDEPENDENT ENTITIES’ and using language to come up with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to impute the existence of a LOCAL THING with its own LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS is linguistic abstraction that does not over-ride the reality of the world as an all including transforming relational continuum (wave-field).;

 

“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionistic scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard  (International Society of Systems Sciences)

 

Martine is talking about how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have got ourselves stuck in the habit of employing BINARY LOGIC BASED REPRESENTATIONS for QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY (i.e. notional LOCAL MATERIALTHINGS WITH LOCAL POWERS of AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS rather than MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS in an ALL-PERVADING WAVE-FIELD. .

 

Martine leaves no doubt as to what kind of a world she believes she is living in; i.e. a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence.  This is a WAVE-FIELD world within which there are MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS.

 

But we don’t talk as if we live in that kind of fluid, continually transforming world because we have GIVEN A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN OUR LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE TO BINARY LOGIC as in the example WE ARE BUILDING A NEW HOME ON THE SEASHORE.    What I didn’t mention was that it is the 579th NEW HOME on the now crowded short stretch of beach, so the creatures that are getting ‘crowded out’ may be understanding that what is going on IS NOT SIMPLY “CONSTRUCTION” and “GROWTH” of the RESORT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, DESTRUCTION and “SHRINKAGE” of the WILDERNESS (i.e. transformation.)

 

In BINARY LOGIC “SUBSTITUTE REALITY”, FIGURE and GROUND are TWO, in which case we can speak of THE FIGURE as if INDEPENDENT of the GROUND; i.e. as if it were floating in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE

 

In QUANTUM LOGIC terms, FIGURE and GROUND are ONE (the FIGURE is a CONDENSATION of the GROUND aka the WAVE-FIELD) in which case we can speak of THE FIGURE AS WHORL IN THE FLOW where if the WHORL CHANGES, the FLOW IT IS INCLUDED IN SIMULTANEOUSLY CHANGES; i.e. we acknowledge that the FIGURE is a FEATURE WITHIN THE OVERALL ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED TRANFORMING GROUND that we commonly refer to as “SPACE”.

 

So, in QUANTUM LOGIC terms TOWN and COUNTRY are ONE and the figure (TOWNING) is INCLUDED in the (transforming) ground or LANDSCAPE, underscoring the reality that we are living in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence in which case there can be transformation but no local birth, growth, shrinkage or death, artifacts of our ‘being’ based language scheme.

P.S. to this note on What our children and all of us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS need to know

 

We need to know that the transforming WAVE-FIELD is the primary dynamic and CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, … as LOCAL MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS AND DEEDS …. DO NOT EXIST (i.e. they are intellectual constructions that do not exist in our actual sense-experience reality).

 

WHEN WE SPEAK OF CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION , these only have real meaning in a FLAT SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT (they are intellectual abstractions).

 

IN THE REAL (SPHERICAL SPACE) of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE THERE IS ONLY TRANSFORMATION AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE AUTHOR AS WE AND EVERYTHING ARE INCLUDED IN IT (objectifying the all-including transformation is impossible).

 

THIS UNDERSTANDING WOULD BE CONTINUALLY LINGUISTICALLY SUPPORTED “IF” WE WERE USING AN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL (QUANTUM LOGIC) LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE

 

OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE IS BINARY LOGIC BASED AND IT SUPPORTS THE ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING ABSTRACTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION.

 

IN OUR ANDROGYNOUS SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, THERE IS TRANSFORMATION IN THE WAVE-FIELD SENSE OF FEMALE ACCOMMODATING IN CONJUGATE RELATION WITH MALE ASSERTING.

 

WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE HAS DROPPED OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE AND SUBSTITUTED ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.

 

The hypothesis of linguistic relativity, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is a principle suggesting that the structure of a language affects its speakers’ worldview or cognition, and thus people’s perceptions are relative to their spoken language. 

 

With the DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE, the WAVE-FIELD basis of reality gives way to the ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING ABSTRACTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION.

 

Our WESTERN CULTURE SPOKEN LANGUAGE IS “DROPPING OUT” THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE and reducing our LANGUAGE-BASED SUBSTITUTE REALITY TO ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.  Thus we WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE SPEAKERS PERCEIVE THE WORLD IN THE ONE-SIDED TERMS OF MALE-ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, … hence the THIN SKULL RULE which has us DENY the reality of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING (the collapse of the egg-shell skull) and PRETEND that MALE ASSERTING ACTION IS THE FULL AND SOLE AUTHORING SOURCE.

 

The Heraclitus comment on ‘the deaf’ arises from the fact that even after it is explained that the collapse of the skull was due primarily to the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING DYNAMIC, those who have heard this will continue to speak in terms of THE PUNCH SHATTERING THE SKULL.

 

Of the logos [aka the Tao, the Wave-field], which is as I describe it, people always prove to be uncomprehending both before they have heard it and once they have heard it. For, although all things happen according to the logos, people are like those of no experience, even when they do experience such words and deeds as I explain when I distinguish each thing according to its phusis (nature / constitution) and declare how it is; but others are as ignorant of what they do when awake as they are forgetful of what they do when asleep.

Those who hear and do not understand are like the deaf. Of them the proverb says: “Present, they are absent.”

 

The notion of resonance; which manifests as a simultaneous unity and plurality as in the clustering movement of dust particles on a vibrating drumhead is the essence of WAVE-FIELD phenomena which is implicit in Heraclitus philosophy although this WAVE-FIELD foundation in nature is an insight that can be elusive, and it eluded Aristotle;

“Plato clearly distinguished between Heraclitus’ SIMULTANEOUS unity and plurality of the cosmos and Empedocles’ SEPARATE PERIODS of Love and Strife. At the same time, they are mentioned together as both alike in believing in the unity and plurality of the cosmos; and Aristotle’s coupling of the two might conceivably have been motivated by the Platonic comparison, the important distinction between them being overlooked.” – Kirk, Raven et al, The Presocratic Philosophers

Having a sense of inclusion in resonance can be a guiding force as we seek being in the middle of it and it is not as if we are not INCLUDED participants.  We can co-cultivate resonance so that we can bask in it like a harmonizing quartet or a synchronized swimming team where “we are the ones we have been looking for”.

The THIN SKULL RULE underscores our WESTERN CULTURE ELIMINATION of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE of the WAVE-FIELD dynamic and as also with the denial of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING in physical situations in general; e.g. where we blame the cigarette smoker for AUTHORING the forest fire when it is a rain forest that is normally sopping wet and won’t ignite with a blow-torch.  But there is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING INFLUENCE of the TINDER DRY FOREST at the end of the long hot summer, but like the THIN SKULL RULE, we limit our concept of AUTHORING of actions and events to the MALE ASSERTING CONJUGATE and simply DROP OUT acknowledging the PRIMARY INFLUENCE of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC.

The ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING ABSTRACTIONS OF CONSTRUCTION, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION all testify to the DROPPING OUT of our language based representations, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE and thus the DROPPING OUT of our language-based acknowledgement of the WAVE-FIELD basis of reality.

 

Bohm and Nietzsche were well familiar with this DROPOUT problem as I also am since it crops up continually in ‘philosophical investigations.  We can run this QUANTUM LOGIC understanding by our WESTERN CULTURE associates over and over again but the reinforcement of ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING BINARY LOGIC based thinking quickly ‘chases out’ the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC.

QUANTUM LOGIC ‘does not take’ in our WESTERN CULTURE social collective because VIRTUALLY EVERYONE IS USING THE SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC THING-BASED UNDERSTANDING so that when the actual words say ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, most WESTERN CULTURE listeners will AUTOMATICALLY DUMB THIS DOWN to visions of THE TOWNS that are GROWING, which RECASTS ‘the TOWNS’ as LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES notionally with THEIR OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.

The understanding in terms of a TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE in which TOWNING is a relational feature within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and IS IN NO WAY A LOCAL EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF, is overlooked as the WESTERN CULTURE CONDITIONED MIND opts for the SIMPLER DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based ‘SUBSTITUTE REALITY’.

This short essay on How Whorf’s Hypothesis Uncloaks Quantum Logic Reality, points to the shift in language architecture from a QUANTUM LOGIC FLOW-basis (there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE) to a BINARY LOGIC BEING BASIS (The TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING) changes the basic dynamic from one of inclusion, where there the TOWNING is INCLUDED in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, to one of BEING based AUTHORING.  We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have the same choice to make with THE HUMAN as with THE TOWN; i.e. we can use QUANTUM LOGIC language to state that (‘there is HUMANING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE) or we can use the BINARY LOGIC BEING BASIS (‘THE HUMAN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING).

As we know, the QUANTUM LOGIC option leads to the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE while the BINARY LOGIC option leads to the WESTERN CULTURE.

 

as a LOCAL AUTHOR of actions and developments or as

The hypothesis of linguistic relativity, also known as the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is a principle suggesting that the structure of a language affects its speakers’ worldview or cognition, and thus people’s perceptions are relative to their spoken language. 

 Quantum logic is built into the indigenous aboriginal languages while Binary logic is built into our WESTERN CULTURE Common Average European language.  The impact on the respective worldviews is evident.

AFTERNOTE:  it should not be missed that WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE imposes BINARY LOGIC as associates with the MALE ASSERTING ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT CONJUGATE, in a foundational role in the language based representations while WITHHOLDING the use of QUANTUM LOGIC and the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE even in situations such as the THIN SKULL RULE where it is clearly called for by the geometrical symmetries of the physical action.  This results in a distorted proportion of attribution to the MALE ASSERTING AGENCY along with an inappropriate use of EMPTY SPACE as a FILL-IN for the DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
